Transforming health through collaborative research

To mark Dal's 200th anniversary and invest in the future of our health care system, we created the Scholarship for PhD Studies in Health. Our goal is to attract and retain the best and the brightest students to our PhD in Health program.

Transformational health starts here

The School of Communication Sciences and Disorders is part of Dal Health. We're one of the largest Faculties at Dalhousie, with eight schools, one college and one program, more than 200 faculty members, 80 staff members, and over 3,000 students.

Our faculty, staff and students are committed to improving the well-being of individuals, families, communities and populations through diverse health programming, collaborative research and strong community partnerships.

Our 2018 dates are May 1 to June 1 (Spring) and June 19 to July 20 (Summer)

Research

SCSD faculty are actively involved in research in a diverse array of topics. While preparing for professional practice in our programs, Master's students will be involved in theses and projects that address important questions in our fields. Prospective PhD students are encouraged to contact individual faculty members to discuss research interests.
